Underway Marine Data from RV Solander Voyage in February 2011

IMOS Ships of Opportunity data collected aboard the Australian Institute of Marine Science vessel RV Solander during Trip 5135. The voyage occurred from 09 February 2011 to 19 February 2011. The data is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling sea surface temperature patterns based on underway sensor data.
• Analyzing ocean salinity gradients from continuous vessel measurements.
• Calibrating satellite-derived oceanographic data with in-situ observations.
• Studying short-term oceanographic variability in a tropical region.

Strengths

• Data is part of the national Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) project.
• Specific temporal coverage is documented (09-19 Feb 2011).
• Associated with a known research vessel (RV Solander) and facility (Sensors on Tropical Research Vessels).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to a single, short voyage.
